    Ours N.H.S is on its knees

    And how will a United Ireland fix that, exactly?

    police are seriously underfunded

    Per capita, the PSNI has more funding than the Gardai Síochána

    Sinn Féin are the largest party in the North

    Yes, because of constant Unionist Schism. They didn’t gain any seats in the last election. Stormont has 90 MLAs. By party lines, 53 are against a United Ireland, 36 are in favour.

    The two problems you listed won’t be magically fixed by a United Ireland - if anything, they’d be made worse. So my point still stands. I wasn’t painting NI as a haven above other European countries - just that a United Ireland is a bad idea and we’re far better off under the current situation. People thought that Brexit would somehow magically fix the UK’s problems. It just made them worse. United Ireland is the same thing, if not on a worse scale.

        what you say is respectfully a load of shit.

        I was arguing against a UI. You told me what I said was a load of shit. I responded to it. It’s kinda clear how I thought you were trying to argue for a UI with “but nhs bad actually” which I’ve heard a lot of people say when I argue that access to free healthcare is a good reason to stay in the UK
